believe_v to_o publish_v and_o live_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n in_o god_n law_n we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o foul_a spot_n to_o our_o soul_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o open_a profaner_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o also_o not_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o own_o word_n and_o work_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v both_o speak_v and_o work_v in_o we_o and_o by_o we_o not_o to_o hear_v his_o holy_a

of_o his_o word_n in_o god_n law_n we_o see_v it_o a_o foul_a spot_n to_o our_o soul_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o open_a disobayer_n of_o our_o parent_n magistrate_n master_n and_o such_o as_o be_v

help_v or_o relieve_v they_o to_o bear_v with_o their_o infirmity_n etc._n etc._n in_o god_n law_n we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o foul_a spot_n in_o our_o soul_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o man-queller_n in_o hatred_n malice_n proud_a look_n brag_n backbiting_a rail_a or_o bodily_a slaughter_n but_o also_o not_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n yea_o or_o enemy_n even_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o declare_v the_o same_o in_o all_o our_o gesture_n word_n and_o work_n in_o god_n law_n we_o see_v it_o a_o foul_a spot_n to_o our_o soul_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o whoremonger_n in_o lust_a in_o our_o heart_n in_o wanton_a look_v in_o unclean_a and_o wanton_a talk_n in_o actual_a do_v unhonest_o with_o our_o neighbour_n wife_n daughter_n servant_n etc._n etc._n but_o also_o not_o to_o be_v

our_o soul_n not_o only_o in_o heart_n to_o covet_v in_o look_n or_o word_n to_o flatter_v lie_v colour_n etc._n etc._n in_o deed_n to_o take_v away_o any_o thing_n which_o pertain_v to_o another_o

may_v see_v it_o a_o foul_a spot_n not_o only_o to_o lie_v and_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o any_o man_n but_o also_o not_o to_o have_v as_o great_a a_o care_n over_o thy_o neighbour_n name_n as_o over_o thy_o own_o sin_n in_o god_n law_n it_o be_v we_o may_v see_v and_o a_o foul_a spot_n not_o only_o to_o consent_v to_o evil_a lust_n or_o carnal_a desire_n but_o even_o the_o very_a carnal_a lust_n and_o desire_v themselves_o be_v sin_n as_o self_n love_n and_o many_o such_o like_a by_o reason_n whereof_o i_o think_v there_o be_v none_o that_o look_v well_o therein_o but_o

concerning_o the_o second_o mean_a to_o the_o stir_n up_o of_o sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n that_o next_o unto_o prayer_n we_o shall_v look_v in_o god_n law_n spiritual_o the_o which_o look_v if_o we_o

do_v now_o unto_o this_o prayer_n use_v thou_o these_o mean_n follow_v after_o prayer_n for_o faith_n which_o i_o will_v shall_v be_v first_o second_o because_o the_o same_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o

or_o publication_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n i_o mean_v the_o free_a promise_n but_o here_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o promise_n one_o which_o be_v proper_o of_o the_o law_n another_o of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n we_o may_v indeed_o behold_v god_n mercy_n but_o so_o that_o it_o hang_v upon_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o if_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n withal_o thy_o heart_n etc._n etc._n thou_o shall_v find_v mercy_n this_o kind_n of_o promise_n though_o it_o declare_v unto_o we_o god_n love_n which_o promise_v where_o he_o need_v not_o yet_o unto_o he_o that_o feel_v not_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o comfort_v that_o utter_o with_o the_o

promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o which_o we_o may_v see_v such_o plenty_n and_o frank_a liberality_n of_o god_n goodness_n that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v much_o comfort_v though_o we_o have_v very_o deep_o sin_v for_o these_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o hang_v on_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n do_v but_o they_o depend_v and_o hang_v on_o god_n truth_n that_o as_o god_n be_v true_a so_o they_o can_v but_o be_v perform_v to_o all_o they_o which_o lie_v hold_v on_o they_o by_o faith_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v which_o cast_v they_o not_o away_o by_o unbelief_n mark_v in_o they_o therefore_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o as_o well_o they_o be_v free_a promise_n without_o any_o condition_n of_o our_o worthiness_n as_o also_o that_o they_o be_v universal_o offer_v to_o all_o i_o say_v which_o be_v not_o so_o stubborn_a as_o to_o keep_v still_o their_o hand_n whereby_o they_o shall_v receive_v this_o alm_n in_o their_o
